After watching Marvel’s “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law”, I watched this Comedy/Drama/Romance. This movie was released on August 17th 2022. This movie was directed by Wanuti Kahiu. It starrs Lili Reinhart (CW’s “Riverdale”), Danny Ramirez (2021’s “No Exit”), Aisha Dee (Amazon Prime’s “The Bold Type”), and Jaden Tolliver (Law & Order”).
This movie has a runtime of 1h and 50 minutes. It was rated Tv-14.
Onto the premise: On the eve of her college graduation, Natalie’s life diverges into parallel realities: one in which she becomes pregnant and remains in her hometown to raise her child and another in which she moves to LA to pursue her dream career.
I liked the premise of this and it was easy to follow even with the constant switches. Plot is simple. There’s no plot twist. Just a romance story but with 2 plots blending together.
It was overall a realistic approach but in a wholesome and positive way. No rollercoaster or heavy drama in it which you might like but I think it was what let this show down because it made it somewhat dull. It had a monotonous feeling and given how there’s 2 plots merging together the impact of what they are trying to portray is shared between the 2 and it just really didn’t deliver any lasting feelings.
Second half of the movie is where we get some more emotion and that half is the better part of the film. Lili Reinhart delivered her acts well overall. Her face is expressive which helped this film.
Uplifting movie and good for a watch if you’re looking for that kind of slow cruising vibe.
one version of Natalie has a baby and one doesn’t, so it never really feels like there’s a lot of jeopardy for the main character regardless of her choice. But I do appreciate that neither side is painted as the ‘wrong’ or ‘negative’ choice, and that each story has a different love interest.
It has a potential for become a comfort movie for many people including myself.
I really liked the message of this movie being: No matter your life decisions you will still go through very hard times and very good times.
It also showed us, the audience, that It shows comparing to other “lives” that we could have is not really about what we missed but knowing that each path will have fun surprises and hard trials.
Overall I really liked it and would say that it was “worth a watch”! Stay tuned for more reviews today and a new episode of my podcast “Movie Reviews With Ceren” this Sunday and in the upcoming weeks as well!
